362 Paupern

At this moment, the three men in the dormitory looked at Yu Yan in disbelief. She was publicly acknowledged as the richest person among the intellectual youths, but there were actually times when she needed to borrow money.

In this day and age, everyone was poor, but the extent of their poverty was different. People wouldn’t lend money to those they were not very familiar with and trusted that easily. Hence, Liu Ming asked, “How much do you want to borrow?”

After Yu Yan thought about their situation, she raised two fingers hesitantly. “20 yuan.”

This wasn’t a small sum, so the three of them exchanged looks. Liu Ming asked again, “Did you encounter something urgent?”

Yu Yan definitely couldn’t tell him the details, so she could only reply ambiguously, “It’s an urgent matter, but it’s not convenient for me to reveal the specifics.”

Liu Ming didn’t continue asking.

Putting aside the question of whether he had money or not, Li Zhen was really unwilling to lend her money. The two of them were not familiar with each other and were just roommates in the same dormitory building.

Previously, when they lived in the temporary dormitory together, Li Zhen had always disliked Yu Yan’s snobbish behavior. Yu Yan said that it was urgent, but Li Zhen didn’t believe her, so he rejected her with a smile. “I’ve been short of money recently, so I only have a few yuan in case of emergencies.”

When Yu Yan heard this, she immediately placed her hope on Qian Hao and Liu Ming. She looked at them with her watery almond-shaped eyes and deliberately softened her voice as she said pitifully, “Qian Hao, Liu Ming, can you guys help me?”

Yu Yan was good-looking to begin with. When she no longer acted as high and mighty as before, she looked cute and lovable.

However, no matter how cute she was, Liu Ming only had five yuan on him. This money would last him until the village distributed dividends at the end of the year. He could only say to Yu Yan apologetically, “Yu Yan, I’m sorry, but I really don’t have any money on me.”

Qian Hao’s heart skipped a beat under Yu Yan’s gaze. He had 10 yuan on him and it was all he had until the end of the year.

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Yu Yan’s gaze, he couldn’t bear to. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yu Yan, I only have 10 yuan on me. I’ll lend you 5 yuan. I want to keep the rest for myself in case I have urgent matters.”

Among the three of them in the dormitory, only one person was willing to lend money, and it was only five yuan. Yu Yan was naturally indignant and said to Qian Hao in a gentler voice, “Qian Hao, lend me the rest. I’ll return it to you when I get the money sent by my family next month.”

Qian Hao was a little hesitant. 10 yuan was all he had. What if he really needed it urgently? His family’s financial situation wasn’t good, so they didn’t have additional money to send to him.

Li Zhen sneered. Yu Yan was as selfish as ever. She didn’t consider how the person she borrowed from would survive before she returned the money.

He couldn’t help but say, “Yu Yan, if you take all his money away, how will Qian Hao survive before next month?”

Yu Yan replied without thinking, “Don’t you guys sometimes go an entire month without spending a single cent?”

Li Zhen was amused. “There’s a difference between not spending money and not having any money at all.”

Yu Yan pursed her lips and glanced at Li Zhen. Qian Hao had not even said anything, so what did it have to do with an outsider like her?!

However, at this point, Yu Yan couldn’t leave him without a single cent, so she widened her eyes and pouted at Qian Hao as she said with an understanding expression, “Qian Hao, can I borrow nine yuan?”

Yu Yan’s feigned cuteness disgusted Li Zhen. However, Qian Hao’s face heated up when he saw Yu Yan blinking her eyes at him and he agreed. “Okay.”

Seeing that his friend had already agreed, Li Zhen couldn’t say anything else.

After Yu Yan received the borrowed nine yuan, she thanked Qian Hao repeatedly and promised that she would definitely pay it back next month.

After leaving Qian Hao’s dormitory, Yu Yan’s smile fell. She cursed Qian Hao for being such a pauper. Who would have thought that he would really deduct one yuan from the ten yuan?

If it weren’t for Li Zhen being a busybody, she wouldn’t have said that and might have been able to borrow 10 yuan.

Thinking of the fact that Yu Bing and Li Zhen were usually on good terms, Yu Yan couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of Yu Bing that Li Zhen and Liu Ming didn’t lend it to her. After all, in the previous dormitory, Yu Bing had a better relationship with the three young men than her.

The more Yu Yan thought about it, the more she felt that her failure to borrow money was because of Yu Bing. She also felt that Yu Bing was a vixen! She had hooked up with Li Zhen and Liu Ming, and now, she had hooked up with Xiao Sheng. What a promiscuous b*tch!
